RDA City Tryouts
RDA City is the Academy’s flagship competitive pathway, with boys and girls teams from U8 through U18/19 and access to the region’s highest levels of youth competition.
Reach out to the Academy.
Registration for the 2026–27 tryout cycle is closed. Players who missed the scheduled dates may still contact the Academy to ask about an evaluation. Opportunities depend on age group, roster needs, and the timing of the request.
To help the staff respond quickly, include:
- Player’s full name
- Date of birth and grade
- Primary position
- Current club or team
- Playing background
- Parent/guardian contact
What happens next.
Contacting the Academy does not guarantee a roster opening, but it gives staff the information needed to identify an appropriate next step.

Where players compete.
Team placement is designed to put players in a competitive environment that supports both current ability and long-term growth.
ECNL · ECNL Regional League · RDA Prep / Ohio River League
Multiple competitive levels support appropriate placement and long-term development.
Pre-ECNL · Pre-ECNL Regional League · RDA Prep / Ohio River League
The pathway becomes more defined while keeping individual development at the center.
Pre-ECNL · Pre-ECNL RL · ORL Pittsburgh · Local friendlies
Young players compete in a more localized environment with additional development opportunities.
Grade-year age groups.
The Riverhounds Development Academy now uses a grade-year structure based on an August 1–July 31 window across all locations. The change groups players more closely with classmates and graduating classes while removing the former “trapped player” issue between U14 and U15.
Playing up remains possible when Academy leadership determines that it benefits a player’s development. Team placement continues to consider ability, developmental needs, coach evaluations, and long-term opportunity.
